Definitely supposed to be old Franz-Joseph, the Grand Poobah of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.Looks approx. 1890's per other coin profiles of Franz. Don't see any A-H gold coins that match.Reverse wording is partially obscured by solder(?).. no denomination.. and looks to be plated.

Wow... 12% with eBay card tricks! I thought I was doing good with 6-7% through Raise.

This old dog is willing to learn new tricks in case you want to share

Sent you a PM. Sad part is I could have got it for around $950 if ebay accepted more then 8 giftcards per order

Seeking a few Rodebaugh Bars. Looking for a series #1, Fat Boy, & 2015 100g.

This is not so much as a brag as I'm asking the Bullion Stacker brethren their opinion.Was deciding whether to purchase either a 1/4 American Gold Eagle or a Mexican gold 10 peso coin. Cost difference between the two. The American Gold Eagle was selling for $4 more than the Mexican 10 Peso. I went with the American Gold Eagle for a bit more money. Good idea or what are the BS members thoughts. I'm curious.Comments welcomed.Thanks.Todd

Good choice. The AGE cost is $1268 per oz and the Pesos is $1298. Easier to liquidate and 91.66% > 90 % But i like the reverse of the Gold pesos

I concur.

Kinda depends on what you're after Todd.The Quarter Oz Eagle would be a better choice for me....Recognition and ease of resale would top my priority list.I am sure there are good arguments for the other side also

I own several of both; one can hardly go wrong with AGEs and the Mexican Mint, the oldest in the Western Hemisphere, is well-known. Remember that, as money, gold is fungible: gold is gold, regardless of design. I would more interested in genuine-versus-counterfeit. You did fine.
